Politics of Pasts and Futures in (Post-)Imperial Contexts
Although empires have played a decisive role in political thinking and the orientation of political goals at all times, the focus of research has so far mostly been on spatial and ideological aspects. This volume, on the other hand, offers a multi-disciplinary collection of studies that deal with the instrumentalization and ongoing impacts of perspectives on empire and their place in time. Coming from archaeology, history, art history, literary studies, and social sciences, the individual case studies discuss perceptions of imperial histories and imagined futures of empires, both in imperial and in post-imperial contexts. The transcending historical significance of the imperial ideas and ideals shows the deep and long-lasting effects of empire in landscapes, mindscapes, and social structures. The diachronic cut through all epochs from antiquity to modern times is complemented by a broad global view to deepen the temporal understanding of imperial imaginaries as well as their political implications.
Making the Personal Political
"Making the Personal Political is an interdisciplinary account of a now forgotten success story in the history of the society and culture of the Netherlands. While Dutch women had apparently retreated into domesticity after gaining the vote in 1919, women writers were out there in the market place selling the inside story of women's lives. Eight case studies of women writers between 1919 and 1970 trace the unconscious politics of the personal in narratives of women's identity and experience through close readings of texts located in the culture of the time. Jane Fenoulhet, whose knowledge of Dutch literature and culture in the twentieth century is unparallelled in the English-speaking world, tracks the public representation of women's private project of self development to the moment when the personal is finally accepted as politically important in Dutch society."
Caritas in verandering
Zorg voor armen, bejaarden en wezen was eeuwenlang een taak van de kerk. Dit boek gaat over de ontwikkeling van de rooms-katholieke sociale zorg in de stad Groningen gedurende 400 jaar. Het volgt de vele vormen van katholieke caritas vanaf de tijd van de schuilkerken, de katholieke emancipatie, de verzuiling tot en met de jongste periode. Er is aandacht voor de ontvangers en voor de verleners van hulp en de plaats van deze rooms-katholieke zorg in de stad. De verhoudingen tot andere kerkgenootschappen en de groeiende rol van de overheid komen nadrukkelijk aan bod. In de laatste decennia brachten ingrijpende veranderingen in de sociaal-maatschappelijke zorg een meer zelfstandige rol voor de parochies en de zorgcentra zoals het Groningse Maartenshof. Bij de Rooms Katholieke Stedelijke Sociaal-Caritatieve Instelling leidde dit tot een opnieuw overdenken van de aloude vraag: wie is de ware arme?

Multimedia Retrieval
Based on more than 10 years of teaching experience, Blanken and his coeditors have assembled all the topics that should be covered in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on multimedia retrieval and multimedia databases. The single chapters of this textbook explain the general architecture of multimedia information retrieval systems and cover various metadata languages such as Dublin Core, RDF, or MPEG. The authors emphasize high-level features and show how these are used in mathematical models to support the retrieval process. For each chapter, there’s detail on further reading, and additional exercises and teaching material is available online.
Sozioökonomische Ungleichheit im Strafverfahren
Die Arbeit untersucht empirisch, ob Beschuldigte in Strafverfahren infolge ungleicher sozioökonomischer Ausgangslagen ungleiche Chancen auf einen günstigen Verfahrensausgang haben. Sie beachtet insbesondere die Auswirkungen von Opportunitätseinstellungen und Strafbefehlsverfahren. Sie zeigt unter anderem, dass sich sozioökonomische Ungleichheit in einer unterschiedlichen Häufigkeit von Einstellungen nach § 153a StPO niederschlägt und häufig nicht die Instrumente zur Anwendung gelangen, die eine annähernd gleiche Strafwirkung der Geldstrafe bei ökonomischer Ungleichheit gewährleisten sollen.
